Agatha Raisin and the Deadly Dance by M. C. Beaton

My review:🌟🌟🌟🌟

Agatha Raisin and the Deadly Dance has Agatha starting her own detective agency, finally! She has been talking about it for a couple of books, but now she finally does it! Next door has been bought by a woman, Emma, who is a widow.

Charles is back on the scene. He got married in a previous book, but it didn’t work out – she was using him as she was pregnant with twins. This felt a little confusing to me as I would have sworn that it turned out that she wasn’t actually pregnant, but anyway! There is a floating mention of the twins, and that’s about it! All a little odd as though the author has written him out but has decided to keep him around now!

Agatha’s detective agency is hired to protect Catherine Legget-Brown’s daughter as she’s had a death threat. As you would expect by now, there is a murder, and Agatha gets to investigate!

Agatha Raisin and the Deadly Dance was published in 2004, and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.
